America’s extensive intelligence apparatus is diverting its resources from the war on terror to increase numerous spy agencies’ capabilities in gathering intelligence on Russia, a number of US officials told The Washington Post. As Russia-US relations hit their lowest point in decades, Washington has been refocusing its spying activities on Russia on a scale unprecedented since the end of the Cold War. The Washington Post’s sources claim that recent directives from the White House and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) moved Russia higher up the intelligence priorities list. Some ten percent of American intelligence resources are now dedicated to gathering information on Russia. US spy agencies continue to increase their personnel dealing with Russia by shifting the resources focus from terrorist threats and US war zones abroad. This is exactly why the American tax payers are being forced to pay for weapons, training, and supplies for "moderate rebels" ISIS in Syria, because the whole goal of these national agencies under Obama is to make Russia go on the attack to start a major war...Possibly even on a world scale. The thing is Putin knows this and is making Russia and himself stand strong and not fall for the mess that surrounds the Obama administration and Syria. See America under Obama and through agencies like the CIA, we our no longer fighting terror groups like ISIS...We are being forced to support these terror groups so Obama can get his major war to possibly keep him in power. This news will likely become worse, as the election of Trump a man Obama said will never become president is only 2 months away...Now less. The mess with Russia can change in 24 hours, but hopefully Putin remains strong like he continues to show.
